WhatsApp Danger, the latest update to iOS deletes the conversation history

Yesterday came the iPhone for many users reporting the existence of an update for WhatsApp. If you had not yet updated're safe because you applied it saw as the popular messaging program generated an error started and stopped working.

With numbered 2.8.1, the new iteration of WhatsApp contains a serious bug that has been recognized by the parties responsible for the implementation in Spain through Twitter. The update has been removed from the App Store and from the company to correct it indicates that you simply need to delete and reinstall the application again.

The solution provided by WhatsApp makes you lose all the conversation history

This solution, a priori ideal hides a real pain for many fans Texting via WhatsApp. After deleting and reinstalling the application is lost absolutely all the conversation history. At least the contacts that are stored in the phonebook, and remember that to enter the app we checked in with the phone number, not lose our discussions with them or observe any problems.

A remote possibility of saving the furniture

In the last hours has been said that there is a possibility, although not entirely confirmed, to return to a stable version of the application and keep all the conversation history. If we have been sighted, or just by chance, we conducted a recent backup iPhone to iTunes before updating WhatsApp, say it is possible to return to a stable situation if we restore the smartphone with this copy. We have not been able to confirm whether this process is valid, so we can not guarantee 100% effectiveness.

An interesting update and expected

It is unfortunate that these problems have arisen because WhatsApp update was not less. Interesting and demanded incorporated new features like the ability to add our own profile picture for you to see our contacts, add a wallpaper for conversations and, paradoxically, the resolution of some mistakes that caused the application to malfunction on occasion.

Only affect Apple iPhone 3/3GS and already have the corrected version

Apparently, what is clear from official twitter WhatsApp, the bug does not affect the latest handsets from Cupertino, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The rest that were in iOS version 5.1.1 has many ballots of encountering problems. Apple is already pricing in a corrected version of the same and is expected to soon be able to re-download from the App Store itself.
